Statement: Mr. Shyam is obese and is likely to suffer from a heart disease.
Assumptions:
I. All obese people suffer from heart ailments.
II. Obesity is a cause of heart diseases.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Analysis of Assumptions:
• Assumption I: The statement mentions that Mr. Shyam is "likely to suffer", indicating probability rather than a definitive certainty. The word "All" makes this an extreme generalization, so it is not implicit.
• Assumption II: Since Mr. Shyam's obesity leads to the likelihood of heart disease, it is logically assumed that obesity is one of the causes of heart diseases. Therefore, this assumption is implicit.
Hence, only assumption II is implicit.
